If I Don’t Have Several Books on My Reading List at Any Given Time,

… I simply feel empty and worthless. This possibly hints too much at my views on the importance of reading fiction in one’s life.

But in any case, I have now read and skimmed as much of A Game of Thrones as I intend. I enjoy the books but the man is no Tolkien. Close, but no cigar. Now, to look at possible candidates.

Possible Titles to Consider Reading:

• Angle of Repose by Wallace Stegner
• A Prayer for Owen Meany by John Irving
• something by Jodi Picoult
• Lifeboat by Charlotte Rogan
• Wool by Hugh Howey
• The History of Love by Nicole Krauss
• The Uninvited Guests by Sadie Jones
• A Clash of Kings by George R. R. Martin (they are addictive!)

Suggestions welcome.
